Practice makes perfectThis write-in student book focuses on each exam part individually, explaining its characteristics and providing guidance on how to respond to the questions. In preparation for taking on several exam-styled texts and questions, each unit contains a series of practice exercises with detailed answer keys that clarify how and why answers are correct. For each exam part, there are two full-length exam-styled texts with questions and answer keys that explain why the correct answers are correct as well as pointing out why candidates may have chosen incorrect answers. The eight additional exam-styled practice tests included in this resource will allow the reader to consolidate their approach to the different types of reading and listening tasks that will be assessed. The content of this book has been selected from popular exam-preparation resources authored by Fiona Aish, Simon Haines and Jo Tomlinson, and edited with a foreword by Joseph Sanders (JoEnglish).

A biblical understanding of redemption requires the sacrificial death of Jesus. In the post-Christian world envisioned by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his Enlightenment contemporaries, the Christ-centric source of redemption disappears, though the human need for salvation remains. Redemption in Poetry and Philosophy explores how this need for redemption is realized in the post-Christian poetics of William Wordsworth and philosophical imagination of Immanuel Kant. Simon Haines critiques the secular modes of salvation articulated by each figure to illustrate the shortcomings of modern, post-Christian imagination. Redemption in Poetry and Philosophy highlights the ways in which prose allegedly serves as a redemptive agent for nonbelievers in the modern age, but also engenders dangerous notions of self-redemption in contemporary Christians.

This new collection of poems from Simon Haines was written mainly during and soon after Covid lockdown periods. Varied subject matter: personal, political, social commentary, humorous and utter nonsense.
